• 🏥 Healthcare & Privacy: Analyze medical records or research data locally, ensuring compliance with privacy standards like HIPAA or GDPR through integrated PII detection.
• 💻 Offline Research: Work on-the-go or in air-gapped environments. Once the models are downloaded, no internet connection is required.
• 🛠️ Developer Productivity: Quickly query local documentation or large codebases (via text/PDF) using a streamlined CLI or Web interface.
